Buy Austin Griffiths Manzanita online. Austin Griffiths Manzanita is a standout evergreen shrub, celebrated as one of the finest large-growing manzanitas available. Its bold presence in the landscape comes from twisting branches cloaked in smooth mahogany-red bark, which naturally peels each summer to reveal fresh color and texture. Durable and disease resistant, this selection brings both strength and elegance to any garden.

From late December through February, Austin Griffiths Manzanita lights up the winter garden with abundant clusters of delicate pink, bell-shaped flowers. These blooms contrast beautifully against the plant's sage-green foliage, offering a striking display at a time when few other plants are in flower. The combination of blossoms and evergreen leaves also provides valuable nectar for pollinators during the colder months.

Believed to be a cross between A. manzanita 'Sentinel' and A. densiflora 'Dr. Hurd', this naturally occurring hybrid was discovered in the demonstration gardens of Native Sons Nursery in Arroyo Grande, CA. Its proven performance, seasonal beauty, and rich horticultural heritage make it a highly desirable choice for gardeners seeking a dramatic yet dependable focal point.
